well you wont be seeing our new 4x4 suv out on the trails but pretty stoked about it!
long story short, we had been ready to just keep rolling with our 2011 suburban that has served us well but we started having some problems and the ride was super rough. took it into the shop for an estimate and it was going to need:
motor mounts to be replaced
radiator hose
rear brakes
lower ball joints
front diff needed to be rebuilt, said the front quarter axle has 1/2" of play moving it just by hand
they wanted to do everything but the front diff and it was going to be almost $3k and couldn't tell me when we would need to do the diff or how long it would last, if we replaced that it could cost up to $2600. needless to say we were not prepared to drop $5500 into our 10 year old suburban so we put a ton of pressure on ourselves to find a replacement. with the current inflation and insane used car prices we felt like leasing something new was our best option. i assume at some point in the near future the prices of used cars will return to earth and that will make me feel better about our decision.
well here it is 2021 GMC Yukon Denali (because we both hate the new front ends of the suburbans) this badboy comes with the newly designed independent rear suspension and has magnetic ride control for a super smooth ride. This is by far the nicest vehicle we've ever had and it's not even close. Thinking maybe on trips to MOAB we could trailer my Silverado and go with the whole fam
